Dear Readers,
As a child growing up my dad always brought us puzzles for Christmas. These were puzzles that had a thousand (1000) pieces to them. Of course in order to assemble them one would call on the help of everyone to pick out all of the corner and straight edge pieces first, the various colored pieces would be sorted next. Then if you still had someone willing to help you start to put the puzzle together at that point, you would begin assembly. The assembly at this point would begin on another day.
I recently read this article entitled Pre-literacy and Puzzles
and was amazed to find out that my dad was on target helping to build our fine motor skills by purchasing puzzles at Christmas. Read more about Pre-Literacy and Puzzles at the following link:
